HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN PECAN PRALINE SHEET CAKE
To make the cake:
Step 1: Prepare the oven by preheating it to 350 degrees.
Step 2: Ready a 9 x 13-inch baking dish by greasing or spraying it with a cooking spray.

Step 4: Then, add the chopped pecans. Stir them to combine.
Step 5: Now, pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Step 6: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the cake, when it comes out clean, it’s done.
To make the Butter Pecan Glaze:

Step 8: Stir in the condensed milk.
Step 9: Heat the butter with the condensed milk thoroughly before adding the chopped pecans.
Step 10: Stir the mixture well to combine, then, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 11: Spread the butter pecan glaze over the entire cake or spoon the sauce over the individual pieces. Serve and enjoy!
Side note: The baking time varies. When using a 9 x 13-inch pan, bake the cake for 30 to 40 minutes, and for a bundt pan, it’s 50 minutes.
